01x11 - To the Neon District

[bunniefuu]

We're in a fix.

He left his belongings and disappeared.

The Festival of the Meteor is tomorrow.

But we haven't seen Legoshi today,
not even once.

He's not the type to ditch,

so I'm sure he has a compelling reason.

Hello?

What? You're missing one, too?

Sorry, we've got to go.

TO THE NEON DISTRICT

It's raining outside, too. I'm worried.

You have no idea either, Jack?

Not at all. It doesn't look like
he's been back here.

Kabu is dead!

Kabu?

The beetle Legoshi rescued.

Legoshi would get depressed about it.

That's a bad sign.

Legoshi was giving him a lot of love.

Kabu.

You can walk quite a lot now.

I'm glad he's gotten better.

He owes you one.

Do you... think so?

I...

How do I put it?

I'm just doing it to please myself.

It might just be annoying
for the receiving end.

The receiving end?

An animal like me...

can never close the distance
with small, fragile creatures.

Could it be...

that you're still distressed
about that rabbit girl?

"You'll never understand this feeling
of being a hair's breadth from death."

She's totally right.

As long as I'm a carnivore,

I can never understand her.

-Legoshi.
-Hal.

Run away now. Hurry!

I can't do that.

But if it's going to end
without mutual understanding,

what's the purpose of
being born as a wolf?

That might be what everyone's
searching for, after all.

Adults and children. Carnivores and
herbivores. They're all struggling.

Species are decided
the moment they're born,

so they want a purpose they can accept.

You're a tough one to chew on.

This will be the end, kid.

Yes, I agree.

I've started to realize, Jack,

the purpose of being born a wolf.

I probably shouldn't be
showing this to you.

I'm sorry, Hal.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

These nails are for you.
These fangs are for you.

I'll be your beast.

Do I look like a devil to you?

Hal. It's all right now.

You're free to decide.

Would you run away with me?

Legoshi.

Would you tame this gray wolf?

My body's shivering.

I'm glad.

Really.

Legoshi.

I came this far wanting to be forgiven...

for the fact that I was born a carnivore.

That I'm in love with you.

GOOD LUCK IN BATTLE

Did you do all this, Legoshi?

No way.

An old panda came with me here.

Walk straight.

Can you walk?

That kid.

He deliberately missed my vital spot.

This man will teach you
something important for the last time.

A callow kindness...

can be deadly.

I won't let you meddle
with her ever again.

Beg for your life now.

Do it right here, right now.

Show me the face of you carnivores

shivering in terror.

Cry your eyes out!
Come on, plead for forgiveness!

What a pity.

I've got something to teach you, too.

There's no such thing as
saving grace in this world.

I'll dissolve into darkness.

Who are you?

Drop that g*n!

I'm done fighting against rotten adults.

Lose all honor and pride,
and let go of everything.

I'm number four. Item number four.

I'm small and weak,
but I can guarantee I'm tasty.

Don't leave anything
other than the antlers.

Devour gratefully.

STUDENT ID - NAME: MIZUCHI
CLASSIFICATION: HARLEQUIN RABBIT

Legoshi.

Thank goodness. You haven't moved
an inch, I thought you were dead.

I'm totally alive.

I'm really...

I'm really sorry, Legoshi.

-Just for me--
-Hal.

It's fine. I just--

-Just to save me, you--
-I just...

want to eat something.

Here, one big yakisoba with egg.

Looks delicious. You eat too, Hal.

You look pretty beaten up, son.

Eat a lot.

Thanks.

You're so prepared for a 17-year old,

hiding money in your shoe
for an emergency.

My grandpa used to tell me to do that
when I was small.

You were Grandpa's little boy?

Well...

that was a long time ago,

when I was a kid.

Legoshi's and my life

are starting to mingle quietly.

The guy who saved me
by staking his own life

is eating cheap yakisoba in front of me.

This vision could be my lifelong treasure.

That's why,

while this memory is beautiful...

Let's get back by train
once we're done eating.

-Yeah.
-What?

You've missed the last train.

HUMIDITY IS STILL HIGH

How much money do you have now?

About 4,500 yen.

I guess it won't let me end this
that easily.

-Because...
-Hal.

Let's find lodging for the night.

A summer's night can be very long.

All right. Legoshi.

A total violation.

He committed a serious violation,

staying out without permission.

Your roommate is a true delinquent.

Weren't there any signs
of this delinquency?

Signs?

For example, showing great interest
in a female, small animal student.

NO RUNNING IN HALLWAY

What are you talking about?
That doesn't matter, does it?

Actually,

it really does matter.

I've been notified that a female
dwarf rabbit hasn't returned to her dorm.

And this.

It's Legoshi's backpack
delivered to the boy's dorm.

The problem is what's in his backpack.

RABBIT BEHAVIORS
HOW TO BEFRIEND SMALL ANIMALS

They were in Legoshi's backpack?

There's no doubt!

A male wolf and a female rabbit
are away overnight without permission.

If something goes wrong,
it could be a serious problem.

This is immoral...

Nah, he should be fine.

Legoshi. It says here
"interspecies couples okay."

Let's stay in this hotel.

Hal.

Isn't this...

It can't be helped.

Business hotels are too expensive.

Don't worry, you look old enough.

So, what do you say?

It's embarrassing standing here.

Actually...

I'll just sleep outside.

You stay here alone.

Why?

I mean...

you'd been kidnapped by carnivores
until just a while ago.

And you're going to stay in the same room
as me on that same night?

But you're the one who saved me.

What are you scared of?

You saved me from a bunch of lion yakuzas.

That's exactly why I'm scared.

I fought a really dangerous fight,

saved a girl I like,

had dinner, and regained my energy.

I hate to admit, but...

right now, I'm probably...

pretty much in a male mode.

If we spend the night together
in such a place,

and something happens...

It'll be all right. You're Legoshi.

Whatever you do,
you can never be wrong tonight, Legoshi.

You've accomplished something that great.

Isn't it going too fast?

Am I going straight to the rooftop?

There are so many floors left
that I need to explore.

Impossible!

But it was undoubtedly my actions today,

that messed up this escalator.

Wait, why an escalator?

I can't take this anymore! I'm confused!

I'm going to lower the AC.

Do wolves have resistance to hot or cold?

If I had to choose,

cold, I guess.

Same as me.

Dials at the headboard.

Mirrors all over the wall.

I kind of knew of all these,

but they really do exist.

Too bad, they don't have karaoke.

You've been to a place like this before?

I have.

But I've never been this nervous.

Why don't you sit?

Sorry, that was a big rebound.

I wonder how many of me you weigh.

It feels like you're bigger
than when we first met.

Clothes!

Maybe you should wash your clothes
and hang them up.

I mean...

you should wash your clothes.

What?

You heard me.

You can't ride the train
in that bloodstained shirt.

Did I just attempt...

to kiss her?

Raise your arms. I'm taking it off.

Ever since I met her, I've changed a lot.

Legoshi.

I didn't know you were this wounded. Why?

Ever since I met you.

It was still cold that night.

A quiet night with only
the sound of the fountain.

Legoshi.

Everything about me has changed
since that day.

There's something I've been hiding
from you this whole time.

The first time I met you...

wasn't at the rooftop garden.

That monster...

who attacked you behind the auditorium...

was me.

I was seriously going to eat you.

I...

Legoshi.

This whole time...

I pretended that I didn't know.

It's not like
I've always been suspecting you.

But there were a couple of occasions

that made me think so.

So I couldn't understand you even more.

Were you going to eat me eventually,

or did you have other intentions?

Why were you nice to me?

Because it was fun being with you.

Hey, Legoshi.

Our true selves...

are frozen in time in this position.

From here on,

you lead.

Will you sleep,

or eat?

You decide.

I can't, Hal.

Your heartbeat could make me bounce.

This seems to be k*lling you
more than the fight earlier.

Of course.

You want me to choose?

You already know the answer, Hal.

I don't.

You decide, Legoshi.

Sorry.

My hands are trembling.

It's all right. Slowly.

Wait. Is this okay?

She's so small.

Her body's too small. Really.

My hand can almost cover up
her whole body.

It's soft,
but there's something hard inside.

Are these ribs?

So these two mochi sort of things are...

-Your nails...
-Sorry.

It's fine.

Keep on going, Legoshi.

You're being too nervous.

Let's lie down.

Am I too heavy?

No, it's fine.

Calm down.

Don't hurt her. Don't scare her.

That's a voice I've never heard.

Hal.

Hal.

Legoshi.

No way.

Legoshi, sorry.

My body's moving by itself,

trying to get inside your mouth.

This is...

a reprimand from my rabbit genes...

telling me that loving each other...

is a terrible mistake.
